MoveOn wants "the unvarnished truth" on how we think they're doing !
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 12:01 PM by Amaryllis
And this time they even actually give you a place to write
REAL COMMENTS! So let's tell 'em they're totally missing the boat as long as they don't take on election reform seriously.

Dear MoveOn Member,
MoveOn has grown tremendously over the last several years and none of that growth would have been possible without your energy and support. From the war in Iraq to President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security, we have worked together to make sure that our voices are heard on the issues that matter most.

We want to make sure that we're on the same page that you are as we move forward together in future campaigns.

Can you take a moment to tell us how you think we're doing?

http://www.moveon.org/tellus/?id=-2818316-Aul.PBMYmrgmWxPzn4yOig

This brief survey is something like a progress report, and is meant to gauge how satisfied you are with the work that we do. It will help us understand where we stand with the people that matter most to us - our members. Your answers will help us plan our future, so we're counting on you to give us the unvarnished truth. If we need to be doing better work in a certain area, we want to know it.

Please let us know what you think at:

http://www.moveon.org/tellus/?id=-2818316-Aul.PBMYmrgmWxPzn4yOig

We're ready to take on future fights - but we want to know what you think first.

Thanks for all you do,

�Eli, Ben, Justin, Marika and the MoveOn.org Political Action Team

1. My "Comments" submitted to MoveOn:
MoveOn MUST address the Election Corporatization Movement:

They've taken our farms,
They've taking our schools,
They're corporatizing our public highways,
They own our hospitals and manage our doctors,
They've invaded our military,
They own our prisons,
They manage our public lands,
They now can take our homes
They want control of Social Security.

Now, they are stealing our elections!

Our votes are being corporatized by secretly counting hidden digital ballots derived and interpreted from voters' input via corporate digital vote processing systems running proprietary, trade-secret software.

With centralized corporate control of exit polls which can now easily be compromised or discounted by the elimination of competition and the scientific application of corporate public relations;

With unaudited and unauditable vote results announced by a corporate media hegemony of private special interests,

The citizenry have lost all transparency to their elections with no assurance their intent is reflected in electronic election outcomes.

Corporatization of our public commons is tantamount to nazism: that which the "Greatest Generation" sacrificed to eliminate from our planet.

Corporatization of the public vote strips away all citizen control of our government, replacing the voice of the people with corporate control by private interests and secret intent.

We are now on the verge of a neo-nazi 1,000 year 4th Reich and it up to us to stop it. Corporatizing the public vote enables and ensures private, secret control of our election results. Without transparent elections and with no assurance the will of the people has been heard, received, and expressed, our democracy is in grave jeopardy.

Therefore, it is incumbent on "We The People" to heed the warnings of history and step up to protect our votes and our democracy before it is too late. If we do not demand a return to citizen controlled and supervised, transparent, public elections, we will lose our democracy to the secret determinations of the corporate boardroom.

Its up to us. We need MoveOn's help!

2. Not sure why I bothered, but here's what I submitted
We are so far past the point of what should stimulate revolution and you don't even stand up against bogus elections. You are not relevant. Read Blueprint For Peaceful Revolution and get involved with developing a cohesive national strategy of implementation for the Voter Confidence Resolution (VCR).

PS: Great to see you back at DU, Kip! :yourock:

3. "You are not relevant"--Good line. It's true. They ceased being relevant
when they had house parties all over the country a few days after the election to set priorities, and election reform won hands down as the number one issue people wanted to work on; the others weren't even CLOSE, and they have done nothing. They are top down, and seem to have their own agenda.

5. another ploy by Moveon to make you think they actually care
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 08:08 PM by WillYourVoteBCounted
their donations must be down, so they are trying to fool
activists into wasting their time on Moveon again.

We have moved on, move on.

Jerks for tying up folks time with BS type action alerts most of the time, and ignoring what really matters.

I don't even read their crap or participate in any of their
"action" alerts.
